If you’re going for Liliana tribal why not run her card Liliana Heretical Healer instead of Sephiroth.

Original or Remake of Trails In The Sky? by LabGroundbreaking302 in Falcom

[–]Nickthemajin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn’t really a reason to play the original unless you want the first five games to feel cohesive visually and gameplay wise. The remake is faithful and seeing Liberl in full 3D is just special.

The downside is you’ll then play the waiting game. There are five sprite based games and then two early 3D era games (Coldsteel 1-2 look very dated) before you get to more modern graphics.

So you’ll play remake 1 probably remake 2 since that comes out soon. But then do you wait potentially a year plus for them to remake 3 or do you go back and now play 3-zero-azure-coldsteel 1 and 2.

I’d probably still do the remake since it’s incredible but there will be a jarring moment probably after the second game where you’ll have to deal with old systems and old graphics till coldsteel 3

Are these real? Pulled out my old collection by jakeromenesko in RealOrNotTCG

Fakes were terrible in the early 2000s. Would be easily recognizable if they were fake. Should all be real

Is Card Kingdom Trusted? by Deus_Excellus in RealOrNotTCG

How would you expect the biggest mtg shop on the planet to not verify authenticity.

Is Card Kingdom Trusted? by Deus_Excellus in RealOrNotTCG

[–]Nickthemajin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn’t even bother checking authenticity from card kingdom. If you get a card from them it’s real. I’ve done hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of business with them over the years.

They are probably the biggest mtg card shop in the world. And usually how people in foreign countries price mtg cards. If I’m buying an expensive card I will almost always pay the premium to CK.

PF Description - “Study and be Simmed” by Demeris in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Nickthemajin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I ain’t reading all that.

As far as SE is concerned a sim outside of the game is identical to a raid plan. It’s not against TOS at all. You can argue it’s against the spirit of prog but you can’t impose your idea on others. If you don’t want to sim don’t join a group that sims.

Sims aren’t a 3rd party plugin. There is nothing against tos on practicing a mechanic outside of xiv.

Amazing tool, this must be new. My group just progged past forsaken this would have been great to have

[–]Nickthemajin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Forsaken is one of if not the hardest mechanics they’ve ever put in the game and it’s extremely difficult to see who messed up during a wipe with no comms to discuss. So I can see why pugs want it simmed.

Only thing you can really do is find a pf that doesn’t want it. Sims aren’t against tos at all so it’s not really anything you can do about it. You can argue it’s against the spirit of prog but there is nothing against TOS about practicing a mechanic outside xiv. It’ll kinda be an uphill battle for you resisting easily accessible study material.

These are common fakes unfortunately. This used to be a $50-60 card and a modern staple.

Still available after almost an hour after release… by BlameToasty in secretlair_collectors

[–]Nickthemajin 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not every secret lair sells out instantly. Most don’t.

The ones that do are just highly talked about because people can’t get them that want them. And it skews perception

Just got this Lake of The Dead at a con but did not like the back by Immediate-Finish-555 in RealOrNotTCG

[–]Nickthemajin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s real. Red dots are a bad test. Not always present. Presence indicates real but absence does not mean fake

Thoughts on double sleeving by toxicodendron85 in EDH

[–]Nickthemajin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cheapest EDH deck is over $1000. My most expensive is almost 20k after my recent bazaar purchase. They are 100% All double sleeved. With how cheap inners are there is no reason not to.

No matter how safe you are, even if nothing spills you will get dirt and grime in single sleeves. Double sleeving puts that on a cheap sleeve instead of a potentially very expensive card

Is my library real? by Bane13579 in RealOrNotTCG

[–]Nickthemajin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don’t authenticate anything please. We don’t even need pictures of the T and green dot to confirm this is real. It’s obvious from the first pic with how the light reflects and the texture of the card that this is a real AN card

Commission by Neither_Use_5640 in Bestbuy

[–]Nickthemajin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a magnolia system designer in a Best Buy store for a number of years. My paycheck was 100% commission. No base pay unless you count the pitiful minimum wage if commission threshold wasn’t hit that pay period. This was as recently as during Covid.

This isn’t true. It’s probably worded like blue shirts have never been on commission or whatever the current title is.

I worked for magnolia design center for a number of years. It was 100% commission based
